Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Zinc roofs can last over 100 years under ideal conditions. While metal roofs last a long time, only copper roofing is comparable to zinc's longevity. Zinc roofing develops a patina over time, turning from dark shades to lighter ones. The material, or at least the patina coating, is somewhat self-healing by filling in small gaps and scratches on its own.  

Metal roofs do not technically require a drip edge if the roof overhangs at least one inch, because the roof's slant will cause water to flow away from the structure. But a drip edge would be an added level of protection for a metal roof to help keep moisture issues at bay.

Yes, you can salvage grill grates with some surface rust. Simply apply a commercial rust remover or a homemade vinegar, baking soda, or lemon juice paste with a wire brush or steel wool. After removing the rust from the metal, you can then apply a thin layer of rust-preventing oil to keep the grates looking good as new for longer. However, grate replacement is often better when the rust is deep.

Repairs involve cleaning surfaces, applying sealants or patching holes, replacing damaged sections, or tightening loose fasteners to restore integrity.

24-gauge metal is thicker and will stand up better to impact, so it’s a better option for roofs that will see heavy snow and ice accumulation, hail storms, fallen tree debris, and blown debris. It’s a more expensive option, but it’s worth the added cost for roof longevity in extreme climates. If you live in a more moderate climate and don’t have trees overhanging your roof, 26-gauge metal is suitable and is a more affordable option.
